Are there any fully automatic coffee machines?

This may be a pipe dream, but has anyone heard of a coffee machine that can dispose of its own grounds (or store them on-board for bulk emptying) and has on-board water/bean reservoirs?

I currently own a Black+Decker CM5000B (auto-grinder/brewer), which is great for setting up the night before and grinding/brewing on a timer in the morning, but I still have to clean the grounds out of the basket and refill it before use (I worry about loading grounds the night before since the basket is moist and could maybe grow mold) and … idk I want to be more lazy :stuck_out_tongue: A k-cup machine might be the answer, but it seems so wasteful and I don’t want to drink more plastic.

I realize there may be units like this ~$4000 range, but I’m just curious and interested in anyone’s knowledge of the current tech surrounding this.

Not cheap, but this model is due to start shipping this year: https://www.spinn.com/

That looks … about perfect. Yeah it is a bit steep, but that’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. Maybe I can save up until they start going full production.
